Genoese heavy metal act originally established in 1990 and resurrected with vocalist Jason (ex-Ulfe, ex-Sacradis), guitarists Massimo Malachina, bassist G.B Malachina, and drummer Maurizio Solarino. Their Crimson Evil Eyes EP revives old-school '90s evil metal inspired by King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, and Candlemass, blending gothic doom with classic heavy metal theatrics.
Dallas thrash outfit Exploder have been at it since 2015, delivering the genre's classic hallmarks — speed, aggression, and riff-first songwriting — with a Texas directness that suits the form well. The DFW underground has always had a taste for uncompromising metal, and Exploder fit that tradition to a T.
Heavy/thrash metal act from Lugano in Switzerland's Italian-speaking Ticino region, delivering muscular, riff-heavy metal since 2016. Their Mediterranean setting adds a distinctive character to their fusion of heavy and thrash metal.
Heavy metal band from the famous spa town of Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, forging traditional metal since 2023. Their name suggests the ecstatic energy they bring to their classic heavy metal approach.
Circle Pines, Minnesota's Extermination Day occupy a corner of the metal universe where heavy doom riffing meets the working-class directness of punk, crafting music since 2020 that hits slowly but hits hard. The suburban Minneapolis origin grounds their sound in a practical, no-nonsense approach to heaviness.
The Swedish city of Dalby/Veberöd serves as headquarters for this heavy metal operation, whose arsenal includes classic metal thunder with a modern edge. The production keeps things raw and honest — no frills, all metal.
Heavy metal band from Barcelona, Spain formed in 2012. They deliver classic heavy metal riffs from the Catalan capital.
Heavy metal band with progressive influences from Irkutsk in eastern Siberia, active since 2005 — two decades of heavy metal from the historic city near Lake Baikal.
